Who knew such a tiny book could offer so much? I didn’t want to write just another book to put on the shelf with the others you skimmed through a couple of times. You know, the ones with CHAPTERS. Who has time for that in the middle of a game? Save that for a good mystery! I wanted a book that WORKS. One that you carry around with you throughout the seasons and use when the perplexity of the game strikes in the stands! Mission accomplished!

And all moms, grandmas, girlfriends’ moms, aunts, moms’ friends who have special young football players (or dreamers) in their lives will find the concepts of the game easy to understand through the amusing comparisons between a mom’s life and the game of football.      

Relating football to what you already know is just one of my teaching tricks used to make it WORK. Listed below are a few others.

By presenting content in three levels of difficulty: Reeling Rookie, Seasoned Spectator and Future Football Fanatic, you get the main idea with a quick glance at the top of each page. You can work your way to the last level at your leisure.

Spiral-bound flash card format so you can quiz each other with the colored diagrams opposite its correlating text. See who really knows football!

A wipe-off line of scrimmage for your son to draw plays and pass routes to explain what happened in his last game, or for those to watch in an upcoming game.

A special “Moms’ Section” loaded with tips and advice from coaches and veteran football moms.

Uplifting quotes and scriptures sprinkled throughout the book.

Vinyl pockets to show off your favorite photos and to keep a schedule handy.

A few pages for jotting down stats or milestones and those moments you don’t want to forget, like your son’s reaction the first time he realized you trumped him talkin’ football! Fun stuff!

It is small enough, palm-size in fact, to slip discreetly into your pocketbook even with 190   fact-packed pages. You can sneak a peek to check a signal and share the info as if you knew it all along!

A condensed quick-reference guide on the inside of the protective wrap-around cover helps you keep up with the action.
